About this role
Stripe is a fintech innovation hub focused on building a modern, stablecoin-powered cross-border payments network. They are seeking a Security Engineer to build and scale Bridge’s security foundation, design a security program from the ground up, and collaborate cross-functionally to enhance security measures.
Responsibilities:
- Design, and implement Bridge’s security roadmap from first principles to production
- Identify and tackle Bridge’s most important security risks quickly and pragmatically
- Integrate with Stripe’s infrastructure where it makes sense, and find custom solutions where it doesn’t
- Lead threat modeling and hardening efforts for Bridge’s money movement systems in collaboration with crypto and infra teams
- Build key security capabilities (monitoring, secrets management, incident response, access controls, CI/CD hardening, etc)
- Reinforce engineering best practices around secure development and infrastructure
- Ensure Bridge meets compliance and audit expectations as we scale to more regulated markets
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and Stripe’s security org to move fast without compromising safety
Requirements:
- Have 8+ years of experience in Security engineering, ideally with time spent in fast-paced startup environments where you've built security practices from the ground up
- Have a startup mindset: you're scrappy, pragmatic, and move quickly to solve the most critical problems
- Are comfortable writing and debugging backend application code (Ruby is a plus, but not required)
- Thrive in ambiguity and know how to ruthlessly prioritize
- Can balance security rigor with speed, especially in fast-moving environments
- Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical partners
- Have experience building or scaling security programs, either at a startup or in an embedded role
- Are excited about the potential of crypto and stablecoins to power global financial infrastructure (you don't need deep prior knowledge—just curiosity and openness to learn)
